Like someone suggested above, the cop was probably just starting to set up the means to correctly block off the lane (it looks like that was the case since you said he had flares set up and his vehicle positioned better the next time you passed by him). You think you can just snap your fingers and have your vehicle positioned correctly, cones set up, and flares burning?
In Florida we have a law that you must vacate the lane next to the cop who has pulled someone over. In other words, if a cop has someone pulled over, then you cannot drive in the lane closest to the cop. Do you have any idea how many cops die from being hit by passing vehicles because the f*ckin' moron drivers think it's okay to drive 65mph in the lane right next to the cop and end up hitting him?
Next time you get in that situation, how about slowing down, moving the f*ck over, going straight, and making a u-turn at the next median break?
By the way, I'm a deputy sheriff. I let people off with warnings all the time for speeding, running red lights, tailgating, etc. But I will write a "failure to move over" ticket in a heartbeat because idiots like you think that they can put the cops life in danger because they're in a hurry to buy milk and eggs.
